Nintendownsmii on 18 December 2007

One year ago, today, I received a Wii for my birthday. I have noticed something since then. I have last weight. And not just a couple of pounds either.

A year ago I was about 180 lb in a size 8.

Now I'm 125 in a 2. 

No diet no joining a gym no pills the only change is the playing of the Wii. Now to be clear I do not just sit there and twitch my wrists to handle the motion controls. I actually swing my arms as if swinging a sword when playing Zelda, I Actually get up and bowl as if it were a real ball in Wii Sports. In other words I play the Wii the same as if I am actually doing the activity (especially if company is over as guys just love to watch.)

So, am I the preverbial *results not typical, or has anyone else noticed this as well?

Also, a "HA!" to those who one year ago said the Wii was being sold to parents who thought that it was exercise even though it isn't.

how big is that in british sizes? because I reckon it to be from a size 10 to a size 4, which is just unhealthy to lose all that weight in one year cos that would be about 40 KG. but I don't know american sizes so I may be wrong.

Quick search on the net says you are exactly right on the size conversions highwaystar.

Meaning you lost about 30 KG (1 KG is about 2 Pounds).

60 KG does not sound unhealthy for a normal site (as in height) girl.

Yeah I got the same result, I reckon that the wii does burn the pounds, especially warioware, when I got that I lost about a 6 Kg over 2 weeks. Because I swim about 2 hours a day and spend an hour at the gym I have problems keeping my weight up so I eat lots of carbohydrates and fruit (for sugars) to keep my energy up. Mind you I don't know you, I'm guessing you are quite short and petite in which case you are probably healthy.

Yeah 30 Kg sorry, I'm not good and imperial measurements, 30Kg sounds fine over a year

Holy crap. I can believe it though, if you play alot. Just playing Wii sports boxing burned me out after half an hour. I was fighting my little cousin (hes like 10) who of course has seemingly unlimited energy. Little punk. Knocked me out too. *sigh*
